["istvan novak" <istvan.novak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Hi All,

 Five companies have proposed a TecForum for DesignCon2003 
(January 2003, Santa Clara, CA, see http://www.designcon.com, look for HP-TF2). 

The title is: 
 
MEASUREMENT OF POWER-DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS AND ITS ELEMENTS
 
The five presenting companies in alphabetical order:
 AVX, GigaTest Lab, Sanmina-SCI, SUN Microsystems, TDA Systems.

Quoted from the abstract: "Making the connections on dense printed-circuit 
boards create 
probing and fixturing difficulties. The purpose of the TecForum is to explain 
how to apply 
the time-domain and frequency-domain measuring methods to characterize 
power-distribution-network elements, how to choose cables, probes and 
connections, 
how to do proper calibrations. Going from low to high frequencies, measurement 
examples and techniques will be shown to characterize and validate 
voltage-regulator 
modules, low-ESR bulk capacitors, high-frequency low-ESL multi-terminal 
capacitors, 
printed-circuit-board power/ground planes, as well as complete 
power-distribution networks."

The presentations will be about measurements, primarily with network analyzers 
and TDR 
instruments.  'Traditional' oscilloscope measurements, design and simulation 
questions will be 
addressed only as far as they may be needed to put the topics listed in the 
abstract into 
perspective.

If you have any particular question that you would like to be covered within 
the listed
topics, or if you want any of your components or circuits to be measured and 
possibly 
displayed, please contact us by e-mail.  We cant promise to take all of your 
requests into account, but we are certainly interested in hearing from you.

Best regards
